What We Do

Running Strong helps strengthen American Indian communities across the nation. With a focus on serving American Indian youth, we tackle complex challenges that stem from years of oppression and poverty.

Our Programs

Running Strong's program involvement reaches far and wide. With our longstanding partnerships in Indian Country, we work to create sustainable change in Native communities. Our focus areas include safe housing, basic needs, culture and language preservation, emergency assistance programs, organic gardens and food, schools and youth centers, women’s health, and seasonal programs. We implement our own programs but we also support independent groups who align with our mission, such as nonprofits, community centers, and grassroots projects.
